As a child in the 80s, Emily Ellerbe decided that when she grew up, she wanted to sit around and talk about books all day. Somehow, she made that happen: by working in libraries and bookstores, working with and for authors, teaching literature and writing, homeschooling her children, and through her own writing. She has studied fiction and poetry at the Writer’s Center in Bethesda, the Kenyon Review Workshops, and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference.
Her primary pedagogical aim is to share her deep and abiding love of literature, which is, at its heart, a love of humanity and of fearless truth-seeking.
